Mansfield K of C council holds annual Thanksgiving pie sale

MANSFIELD, Mass. — The Knights of Columbus, George C. Shields Council 420 at St. Mary’s Parish in Mansfield recently completed its third annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale.

Parishioners ordered 290 freshly-baked pies from Montilio’s Baking Company in Brockton and in turn generously donated 45 percent of the pies to other local charities.

The pie donations were directed to the North Cottage Program in Norton, a residential substance abuse treatment facility for 250 men. The donated pies were and will be served as dessert for the residents’ Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day dinners.

Council members and their family’s pie donations were directed to the 31st annual Friends of the Elderly Thanksgiving Dinner in Mansfield. All proceeds from the sale will be used to support the ongoing charitable efforts of the Knights of Columbus.
